The persistent need for high performance solutions for domestic applications such as safety, entertainment, lighting, energy, and HVAC is the primary growth driver of the home automation market across the globe. The growth of the market is supported by the rising penetration of the internet across countries such as the U.K., France, and Germany. As consumers become more focused on energy conservation and management, there is a rise in the demand for automated energy management solutions. This is driving the home automation market. Smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices are increasingly being used, which adds to the ease of establishing home automation systems.
